On January 14, 2023, the fourth-seeded Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Chargers 31-30 by performing the third-largest comeback in NFL history. In the first half, the Jaguars quarterback, Trevor Lawrence threw four interceptions as the Chargers quickly took a 27-0 lead. The Jaguars would score before halftime, making the halftime score 27-7.
